I'm always amused at the topic of flower colors. I'm not certain if the
differences are due to climate, breeding, or perception! I have a whole bed
of purple flowers that were intended to be red and blue, from magenta to
violet. Someone made the observation awhile back that Crayola crayons were
"true" colors. I'd like to suggest that we each go out and buy a big box
(64?) and then use them to describe the colors of what we are growing. And
I have a bed of "pink" daylilies, lilies and roses; the roses and lilies
are pink, but the daylilies are all a little too peach. I may never get
these beds where I want them to be!
Some of my blue "keepers" are echinops (planted a package of seed and only
had one survive), linum perenne, leadwort (sorry, ceratostigma something or
other), delphinium "blue mirror", an unknown salvia, and lots of early
spring bulbs.
